Which of the following is irrational?
विकल्प
`sqrt(4/9)`
`sqrt(12)/sqrt(3)`
`sqrt(7)`
`sqrt(81)`
उत्तर
`bb(sqrt(7))`
Explanation:
Irrational numbers are real numbers which cannot be represented as simple fractions.
Examples: `sqrt(2), sqrt(3), pi`
`sqrt(4/9) = 2/3` ...(Rational)
`sqrt(12)/sqrt(3) = (2sqrt(3))/sqrt(3) = 2` ...(Rational)
`sqrt(81) = 9` ...(Rational)
But `sqrt(7)` is an irrational number.

Classroom activity (Constructing the ‘square root spiral’): Take a large sheet of paper and construct the ‘square root spiral’ in the following fashion. Start with a point O and draw a line segment OP1 of unit length. Draw a line segment P1 P2 perpendicular to OP1 of unit length. Now draw a line segment P2 P3 perpendicular to OP2. Then draw a line segment P3 P4 perpendicular to OP3. Continuing in this manner, you can get the line segment Pn–1Pn by drawing a line segment of unit length perpendicular to OPn–1. In this manner, you will have created the points P2, P3,...., Pn,.... ., and joined them to create a beautiful spiral depicting `sqrt2, sqrt3, sqrt4,` ...
